As effortless as that was, though, so too was my return to the fighting game that is nearly as old as I am. By that point, I was already dedicated to life as aMortal Kombat playter, and though I still had a toe in the water, Street Fighter: The Movie made it easy to jump the Street Fighter ship entirely.

That excitement is even more impressive considering I don’t even play Street Fighter anymore.

So you can imagine my excitement when Capcom announced its pink Ryu and Chun-Li Street Fighter 5 skins in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), with all proceeds being donated to support breast cancer research, and a minimum donation of $25,000. This is even truer when the costume is pink, which is almost always my go-to color in any game that allows me to make customizations to my character, weapons… anything, really. Knowing that my character looks awesome while also supporting a worthy cause makes playing any game that much better. It's a habit that's a little pricey, but when it comes to an outfit that doubles as charity support, count me in. When it comes to in-game cosmetics, I'm one to overindulge in picking up skins.
